The Complete
Laboratory Manual for Electricity, 4E
4th Edition
Stephen L. Herman
Now you can master
the hands-on electrical skills you need for professional success
with THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELECTRICITY, 4E by
best-selling author Stephen Herman.
No matter what electrical theory book you are
using, THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELECTRICITY offers
the perfect fit with a logical progression of topicsand meaningful,
cost-effective experiments.
Updated lab activities throughout this edition
now incorporate the use of wirewound resistors rather than
incandescent lamps to correspond with the latest government
regulations. You explore all aspects of electrical concepts –- from
basic electricity through AC theory, transformers, and motor
controls.
Each lab offers a clear explanation of the
circuits to be connected, examples of the calculations to complete
the exercise, and step-by-step procedures for conducting the
experiment.
Trust THE COMPLETE LABORATORY MANUAL FOR
ELECTRICITY, 4E as a stand-alone resource or ideal supplement (e.g.,
to the Delmar Standard Textbook of
Electricity) for mastery of the hands-on electrical skills you
need the most.
Features:
- THE ONLY GENERIC LAB MANUAL ON
THE MARKET, THIS EDITION IS IDEAL AS A STAND-ALONE
RESOURCE OR SUPPLEMENT TO ANY ELECTRICAL THEORY BOOK.
A logical progression of topics makes this hands-on,
practical LAB MANUAL the perfect companion for
Delmar’s STANDARD TEXT
FOR ELECTRICITY or any electrical theory book.
- SIMPLE, LESS EXPENSIVE LABS
PROVIDE MEANINGFUL HANDS-ON PRACTICE. Now you can
easily create labs that reinforce hands-on practice
working with today’s most important electrical
principles. Instead of requiring extremely expensive
commercial training equipment, this LAB MANUAL
emphasizes how to construct significant experiments
using relatively inexpensive resistors and capacitors
and other common items from your lab.
- EXPANDED INFORMATION ON
SINGLE-POLE, THREE-WAY, AND FOUR-WAY SWITCH CONNECTIONS
PREPARES READERS TO WORK EFFECTIVELY IN TODAY’S
ELECTRICAL FIELD. Readers gain a solid understanding of
the basic types of switches that electricians regularly
install in residential, commercial, or industrial
applications.
- PROVEN HANDS-ON METHODOLOGY
AND “LEARN BY DOING” APPROACH PREPARES READERS FOR
ACTUAL ON-THE-JOB CHALLENGES. Every lab and experiment
is carefully tailored to offer practice in specific,
real situations electricians are most likely to
encounter in today’s professional environment.
- EXPERIMENTS INTRODUCE
ELECTRICAL SKILLS USING 120 VOLTS AC AND 208 VOLTS
THREE-PHASE. Laboratories simply need access to 120
volts AC and 208 volts three-phase to offer extensive
practical experience critical for the learner’s
professional success.
NEW to this
Edition:
- WIREWOUND RESISTORS NOW REPLACE
ALL INCANDESCENT LAMPS IN HANDS-ON WORK WITH RESISTIVE
LOADS. This edition reflects the latest industry
developments as the author has eliminated use of
incandescent bulbs within all labs. Rewritten
experiments use wirewound resistors to correspond with
the phasing out of incandescent lamps within the United
States.
- THE USE OF FIXED VALUE RESISTORS
ENABLES READERS TO MEASURE TOTAL RESISTANCE WITH AN
OHMMETER BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE CIRCUIT. Readers
can accurately calculate and precisely measure voltage
drop and current.
- THE FOURTH EDITION REVISION IS
THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE update since the text was first
published, with many new and revised graphics to enhance
student comprehension.
